Tong/Lee Style Acupuncture

Volume 1 Issue 1 - February 2006

by Alon Marcus

Tong-style (Tung-style) acupuncture is a style that in part has been passed down within the Tong family (said to be about 300 years old). It is an effective ancillary technique for management of musculoskeletal and other disorders which I learned from Miriam Lee OMD from 1983 through 1985. Tong-style is a system that in part involves older theories relying on early numerological correspondence systems and the needling techniques described in Spiritual Axis that treat points in regions away from the symptomatic areas. It is also said to be related to the Spleen and Stomach school of Li-Dong. The Tong system mainly uses bodily reflections (analogous areas) that relate each body area to another area, mainly on the extremities (These are imaging or somatoreflex systems, e.g., the hand and points of the hand reflect and can be used to treat the head, or the foot, etc.) There are eight (or nine) main imaging systems within Tong-style, the most commonly used being the "same name” upper and lower channels systems (i.e., using Yang-Ming points of the lower limb to treat pain in a upper limb Yang-Ming area).
